Possibly I have the same problem. I had freshly installed system. After freeNX installation I get the error. I used the packages from nomachines.com:
- NX Client for Linux - NX Node for Linux - NX Free Edition for Linux I login via freeNX: """ Beim Starten des GNOME-Einstellungsdienstes ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Möglicherweise funktionieren einige Dinge, wie z.B. Themen, Klänge oder Hintergrundeinstellungen nicht korrekt. Die letzte Fehlermeldung war: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Beim nächsten Anmelden wird GNOME weiterhin versuchen, den Einstellungsdienst neu zu starten.
